Breyer Rosalind and Rigel Unicorns!

Breyer Rosalind and Rigel Unicorns!

Breyer Rosalind and Rigel 712235

Today has been a great day for Breyers and a bad day for the pocket book! First, Breyer released the final 2017 Premier Club set, Carina and Selene. I’m head over heels for Carina and Selene and guess what?! Rosalind and Rigel are must haves for me as well. Rosalind and Rigel are on the Giselle and Gilen mold which were sculpted by Brigitte Eberl. Not only are they wonderful molds but they have been modified to be unicorns! Their color is a pearly looking cremello with lovely looking dapples. Way to go Breyer! Rosalind and Rigel are Breyer website exclusives. Currently, they are available to purchase to current Breyer Collector’s Club Members only. On November 6th, the set will be released to the general public direct from Breyer’s website. Like other website special runs, this set does not ship with a retail box but rather a plain cardboard shipping carton. Rosalind and Rigel are priced at $75 plus $14.50 domestic shipping. The Breyer Collector’s Club Code CLUBPLUS17 takes 10% off which brings their price down to $67.50 + $14.50 shipping. I will be ordering Rosalind and Rigel along with my Carina and Selene. The cost of just shipping the 2 together is $23.50 Ouch!

Make sure you are logged into your Breyer Collector’s Club and you can see Rosalind and Rigel at this link.

Historically, Breyer’s website special run unicorns have been Classics scale.

The Breyer website special run mare and foal sets have also had blankets in previous years. I find it interesting that Rosalind and Rigel do not have blankets but perhaps their unicorn magic keeps them nice and warm!

Here is what Breyer has to say about Rosalind and Rigel:

Mythical Unicorn Mare & Foal! Club Members get Early Access!

Collectors Get Early Access!
Only the pure of heart are given the opportunity to witness the mythical Unicorn! Imagine wandering through a heavily wooded forest, the smell of moss and bark around you, sunlight streaming to the forest floor through the trees, highlighting tiny flowers in yellow, pink, and white. A babbling brook captures your attention. You look up, and there she is: Rosalind, a dreamy cremello unicorn mare, with a shimmer to her cream-colored dappled coat and an accent of gold in her singular horn. You touch her velvety muzzle in greeting, and around her side emerges Rigel, a strapping young colt with a proud expression and confident blue eyes. He’s breathtaking. Am I dreaming?

Before you wake up, we’re offering Collector Club members the first chance to purchase this darling duo. For a limited time, you will have access to this set before we release it to all of our web customers.

*Early access ends 11:59pm EST on 11/5/2017. While supplies last.

Breyer nicknamed this piece Red. Current Collector’s Club members may enter once a day until October 27th for a chance to win the right to purchase this horse. The Test Color Quarter Horse Gelding’s purchase price is $850 which includes shipping and handling. I find it nice that Breyer includes the cost of shipping on their Test Color lotteries. If you are logged into your Breyer Collector’s Club account, you can see the the Red Roan Quarter Horse Gelding directly at this link.

Here is what the Breyer website has to say about Red:

Exclusive Opportunity for Collector Club Members

Exclusively for Breyer Collector Club members!  Breyer test run models are initial decos painted up to see how a particular color might look on a particular sculpture.  Or, they may be created to test out a painting technique or new colorway.  Not all test run models are used, and they may vary over time as different painting techniques are developed and tested.  Test run models are sold as is, with several photos and descriptions of any wear.  We’ve decided not to attempt to touch up older test runs as we’ve found that this can alter their character and uniqueness. Each model has a fixed price and interested members enter a random draw for the ability to purchase the test piece.  We enjoy sharing these special pieces with you and hope you enjoy them!

Red, as we’ve nicknamed him, is a test color Quarter Horse Gelding.  He sports a vintage splatter red roan coat reminiscent of 1970’s Breyer roans, with a pink muzzle and grey hooves.  His halter is hand painted black with gold hardware.  Red has been gracing our archive for nearly ten years and he’s ready for a change of pace! He is mostly free from flaws.  He has a small rub that is hard to see but that can be felt on the point of the right hip.  He’s also got a couple of minor hoof edge rubs.  Otherwise he’s in great shape and excited about discovering a new home!  Red is priced at $850 and comes with a certificate of authenticity.  Only 1 piece is available for purchase.

Please do not enter for the chance to purchase unless you are committed to purchasing this special test run piece if chosen.

In the past, Breyer has offered a number of other Test Color pieces to Breyer Collector’s Club members. Here are the links to the blog posts that I have written about a few of these Test Color pieces:

Which model is your favorite Breyer Collector’s Club Test Color offering?

Breyer Cornelius Micro Run Halloween Brighty

Meet Cornelius, a Breyer Micro Run Halloween Brighty! He is the beloved Brighty mold dressed up in candy corn colors! Cornelius is product number 430047. He is available to purchase by lottery to current Breyer Collector’s Club members. He is limited to just 50 pieces.

Collector’s Club members may enter once a day for the chance to purchase Cornelius from October 17th until October 19th, 2017. Winners will be drawn and notified on October 2oth. The purchase price of Cornelius is $195 + shipping. Since Breyer seems to base the cost of shipping on the value of the model, I believe that the shipping cost will be $17.50. Duende cost $17.50 to ship and Cornelius is in a similar price bracket. This would bring the total price of Cornelius to  $212.50.

Historically, Breyer has made their micro runs on non equine molds. While Brighty isn’t a horse, he’s about as close to a horse as I have seen on a micro run! Maurice the Collie dog was a Breyer 2016 Micro Run.

I have yet to be drawn for any of the Breyer Micro Run lotteries but I will be entering for Cornelius! Be sure to be logged into your Breyer Collector’s Club account and you can see Cornelius directly at this link.

Here is what Breyer has to say about Cornelius. And yes, like the last Micro Run they mispelled the word ‘mircro’, teehee!

Halloween Mircro Run

Here sits our Brighty Donkey,
Looking ohhhhh so sweet-
All done up in candy corn colors,
What a great Halloween treat!!
Meet Cornelius! Cornelius has dressed up as his favorite Halloween treat: candy corn! He’s pearly and delicious and glossy for added good measure. We LOVE him! But there are only 50 of him, so act fast! Please note: Cornelius comes in a mail order box; not retail packaging.

Limted Edition: 50 pieces

Breyer Fletcher 712257

Wow, that was fast! Fletcher is now available for preorder for Breyer 2017 / 2018 Collector’s Club Members. Members who joined on or after April 2017 may order Fletcher and 2018 member are also eligible. You can read my original blog post on Fletcher here.

Breyer Fletcher 712257

I’m delighted to say that Fletcher will be offered in both a matte AND glossy finish. Kudos to those of you guessed glossy and matte might be an option. I certainly didn’t expect it! If you want the glossy finish, you must preorder by November 30, 2017 and select the glossy finish. Otherwise a matte Fletcher will be reserved for you (pending your deposit). I’m opting for a glossy Fletcher. Fletcher’s full purchase price from Breyer is $75 plus shipping. If shipping cost is consistent with the price Breyer has been charging this year, domestic shipping will be $14.50. Breyer is only asking for a $25 deposit now with the balance due when Fletcher is released. Will you choose glossy or matte Fletcher?

Breyer Fletcher 712257

Breyer did not specify a release date for Fletcher. This year, Moondance was released in April. Griffin was release in October. My best guess is that Fletcher will be released in the Spring of 2018.

Breyer Griffin – 2017 Collector’s Club Special Run Cleveland Bay

Breyer Griffin – 2017 Collector’s Club Special Run Cleveland Bay

Breyer Griffin 712227

Today, Breyer released Griffin, a 2017 Collector’s Club Special Run. He is the Tregoyd Journeyman or Cleveland Bay mold in very pretty chestnut. This big bold mold was sculpted by artist Karen Gerhardt. Grifffin is product number 712227. He is available to current Breyer Collector’s Club Members to purchase from Breyer directly for $65 + $14.50 domestic shipping for a grand total of $79.50. Griffin reminds of the 2008 JC Penney Special Run Breyer 410423 Traditional Series Two Piece Set palomino Cleveland Bay.

Breyer Griffin 712227

However, upon closer inspection Griffin is more different than I first thought. Griffin has a braided mane where as the JC Penney Special Run has a loose mane. Griffin also has darker body shading and a shaded mane and tail. Griffin isn’t as yellow as the JC Penney Special Run. Overall, I really like Griffin and I will be purchasing him. How about you? For those of you opting to not pay for your Breyer Collector’s Club Membership Fee for November and December, I recommend purchasing Griffin ASAP. If you have been wanting to add a Breyer Goblin to your collection, now is the perfect time to take advantage of combined shipping from Breyer!

A Breyer Collector Club Exclusive!

This special edition Irish Draught cross is a beautifully shaded and dappled rich blonde chestnut. Four high white socks and a blaze give Griffin character. His mane is braided and his hooves are darkened, making him ready for a show in his athletic trot.

As a Breyer Collector Club special edition, Griffin will be a treasured addition to your collection! Marked Collector Club 2017 on the belly in gold.
